Travel And Tour World : How did Black Platinum Gold revolutionise the relationship between travellers and hospitality?

Viola Palescandolo: Black Platinum Gold revolutionised the relationship between travellers and hospitality through its groundbreaking luxury travel auction platform. By introducing this innovative concept, we transformed the traditional way of booking travel experiences, creating an unparalleled connection between discerning travelers and exclusive hospitality offerings worldwide.

Through our auction platform, travellers now have the power to bid on and determine the value they place on extraordinary experiences. This personalised approach allows them to tailor their journeys according to their preferences and budget, adding an element of excitement and engagement to the process.

The playful context represents an integral part of the project, a great motivational driver towards personal wellbeing.

By partnering with Black Platinum Gold, hospitality brands achieve not only digital exposure, but also high-quality visits on their website, since every person interested in entering an auction wants to learn more about the property before deciding how much to bid. They are not only potential customers, but a new target of extremely motivated consumers ready to “fight” with bids to turn their dreams into reality.

Our focus on sustainability and supporting local initiatives has redefined the notion of luxury travel. By allocating a portion of the auction revenue to benefit environmental sustainability and animal rights causes, we offer travelers the opportunity to make a positive impact on the destinations they visit, fostering a deeper and more meaningful connection with the places they explore.
